"but so are the days of exclusively web-based apps."
Check out the above crap.
This sentence has exactly the same grammar, wording and certainty of the other likewise sentences that were repeated over and over again by some "experts" (more like extra-zealous or excited tech enthusiasts) about many other subjects that became fads.
Need proof this above is a crap of bull ? think security and what problems the increasing web-desktop transiency has brought in terms of it - trojans, viruses, identity thefts, countless already.
From this point on every increase in this transiency will bring more serious security issues. taking measures against these is not foolproof, because in the world of bits, anything that can be done can be reversed - if there is a countermeasure there is the evasion of it already.
Hence "invisible hand" of the web will do the work i think - some sources (like google, with their office stuff over the web and likewise) will tend to increase the transiency, some will not. and some users will prefer to get transient, some will not. it all depends on preferences and the delicacy of the individual information/business information you hold or process in your intranet/desktop.
Actually i am very hesitant that any organization which attempts to undertake the "renovation" will screw up badly due to the extravagant urge to create "new hype technology". (like the ajax and such)
I emphasized slashdot in that even if the buyers of alienware dont frequent here, most regulars of the site are very active "netizens" and the news will spread much wider very fast due to them (us).
Yes it has improved so much, maybe not in multi-million dollar projects or the sheer size of the salaries offered, but in varieties and liberties offered.
We (people on slashdot, developers and people who are not on slashdot, casual internet surfers, ebayers, small businesses that are running ecommerce sites, gamers, bloggers, chinese and so on) have virtually created a new nation for ourselves in the internet here.
This world has no boundaries, and offers extreme liberties.
This has naturally got an effect on the tech job scene.
You might live in sweden and work for an indonesian company, whereas doing small contract jobs for some canadian based small businesses. Also at the same time join an open source project that was initially started by a brasilian, to collaborate with a russian, south african and irish.
Its downright crazy.
As a result, there are much supply of developers/programmers/techies in the scene, there are many individuals, small to medium businesses that are looking for them - either for contract jobs or regular - to the point that we have a good activity going on.
Finding a good, RELIABLE (the most important and valued thing on the market) developer/techie is as important as getting punctual, up-to-the-point, honest-paying clients who know what they want, and equally hard.
This is why, both developers and clients, after finding clients and developers (respectively) who they can trust, do tend to stick to them and go ahead with them from then on.
This results in a situation that each developer happens to create his/her own set of clients after getting some outside jobs, and clients have 1-2 developers they can go to if one of them is busy.
So they become a compact group, doing business among themselves.
This has the effect of liberating tech people from seeking out regular jobs, which tend to always include a wear/tear factor due to repetitiveness and mundanity (even in IT) of a regular job, and allow them to go for creating stuff for projects (which is always fun, and always includes a great deal of respect from the client and a sense of being among equals) and maintaining them instead.
Hence the increasing difficulty of hiring people.
The best advice i can give you - if you get one that is reliable, stick to him/her like hell.
I would rather have my pictures of getting my ass whipped by a horde of crazy sado-masochist foot fetishist south african mongolian descent hentai zulu tribe circulate around the internet instead of this news in slashdot, if i were alienware.
did you ever think that creating a new thing instead of html would cost more in terms of investment, time, readaptation, incompatibility issues all over the net, rather than just keeping it as it is ?
Actually what i think is that both of what you say below are very probable possibilities.
Since we're exploring the space of possibilities of parranoia here, who's to say the slow reaction to Katrina wasn't deliberate, so this law could be passed later (i.e. now)?
It's a bit strange - Bush will not be a president for much longer (unless he does something really radical), so could it be he actually means well? If not, THEN it becomes scary, for either he's planning something stupid, or he's setting the stage for somebody else...
are we going to get concerns about the text mode browser and develop accordingly ? how much of the even current features of html, css or - god forbid - javascripts, (i dont dare even mention things like ajax) the text mode browsers support anyways ?
what i think about that issue is that html is a brick building block for construction, bare and naked. yet it is simple in itself.
over the time we have devised a phletora of applications on top of that brick to make a complete house - we have css, php (or asp for that matter) and so on. it is like an unintended modular development over the time.
actually, html's exceedingly simple nature helps many people to easily pass to creating more developed sites after they do some hobby stuff over frontpage, and this is good for the web in general - there is much content and usage generated, and a low percentage of these up-movers later become enthusiasts of the web, and some happen to end as developers.
And it is clear to me that you are of the zealot type that sticks to mainstream or common beliefs at whatever cost.
tables are already utilized in a huge ratio of the internet in sites serving a wide spectrum of services, and if done correctly takes off much load of the development.
Actually most who parse other's webpages are in pursuit of stuff barely legal, or slightly illegal. generally it happens to be content retrieval of some sorts, or crawling other pages for data mining, or usage for search-engine like applications. one needs to be careful about those.
With css you already have the ability to determine which class text can be enlarged and which not. this is already possible with what html and css we have.
Table layouts are quite fantastic if one knows how to use them and what not to do.
for starters, common navigational elements, with the now long standing tradition of the web, are on the left hand column of the 2 or 3 column web page, with the content being in the middle column in general. almost all internet users are accustomed to this layout. if some designer wants to break too further away from this sometimes boring tradition, well, thats a problem for them.
as for blind users, well, thats actually kinda what i am talking about.
there are stuff in the world that we cant make them fit to each and every people on earth.
do you think it is feasible to try to develop web pages, and leave aside that, god forbid, try to bring standards to the web in order to make blind people able to use internet comparable to a non-blind person ?
me evading any possible security loophole does not mean php is shitty.
i said, i am a cautius person as nature, i tend to be ready for anything instead of getting caught unawares.
had my coding language in the main be something else, i would go the same way. truth is that, ANY language gets out in the exploit arena in this or that intervals. php, being something totally open, is much more successful in that respect.
he prefers to be more immune to occasionally appearing php function exploits, and prefers to be free as birds whereas other developers have to revisit the work they did to earlier clients checking the possible expoitable functions.
We will support RedHat of Oracle plays dirty and tries to kill/takeover Redhat, just as we supported Firefox against IE. Oracle will be the bad guy. Being bad guy, is bad in the world of IT. There are hordes of sharp, wise, conscious it managers, programmers, developers and administrators who do not hesitate to take sides.
think why things with.asp extension break "getting hacked" records over the net, whereas despite being open, sites with.php do not suffer as much.
i would be very cautious not to even shake a fist at something that it community likes, if i were oracle.
nay i did not use anything related to regex. as i said, i always prefer to type my own routines, sometimes even for stuff that has ready made functions built in at php.
actually i am a cautious person, anything that makes some stuff easier may create problems for some other operation. hence, i dont get hasty in rushing in.
i am a developer and i have ben hired to do many parsings of remote sites. I did it with php, and wrote my own routines based on the requirements. i never needed a whole standard changed to do a parsing.

im pretty sure my english is quite sufficient.
With css you already have the ability to determine which class text can be enlarged and which not. this is already possible with what html and css we have.
Table layouts are quite fantastic if one knows how to use them and what not to do.
what a fantastic, sarcastic and unprofessional demanor you have there.
actually i already have a client base and i myself am picking who hires me at this point.
on top of that i really hate childish and impolite correspondence, so from now on if youll excuse me, ill just ignore you.
Yea, you have voted for him, and now he pays back.
I was wondering when he and his fancy entourage would be bringing things to this level, and voila, now they are !
Next to expect is lifetime presidency declaration.
nay, actually you have missed my point.
